The Highline Community College Foundation was established in 1972 as a nonprofit corporation to receive and invest contributions that support students, educational programs and services of the college.
The Board of Directors are business and community leaders that contribute their skills, financial resources and time to help the college meet critical needs. The Foundation strives to connect with the community to meet vital needs not met through public funding.
We believe, when you attend Highline, you get more than just a course — you start on the road to your dreams becoming reality!
Highline Community College was founded in 1961 as the first community college in King County. It serves approximately 18,300 students and has more than 350,000 alumni.
Highline offers Associate of Arts and Science degrees that provide preparation for transfer to four-year colleges or universities, along with Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degrees and/or certificates in approximately 40 professional-technical education programs that prepare students for work. Highline also offers pre-college education, short-term training programs and community education.
